    Yes they are here in Nashville with the retards riding them in traffic. Hope they pass a law where no driver is liable when stupid gets hit on the scooter. These people are seriously mental defectives and just as bad as militant bike riders who want the roads car drivers paid for to be protected open access for toys.

    Yeah the app ‘suggests’ (the rules) that you can’t ride on sidewalks among other places. But those things don’t have enough presence to stay safe around most drivers. No one here of course. But all the other yayhoos that think they’re the only ones on the road. Consequently, some of those same yayhoos ride these things too. But they are fun.

    Useful devices if travelling through the city on shorter distances.

    As everything else, it depends who uses them. They are quiet, so attention should be paid to pedestrians. Also depending on the traffic in the city, the drivers should be aware of vehicles around them.

     

    My son and I just rode some back to our hotel after going to the pre concert Clapton Fest in Dallas. First time for me. It is way hot and humid for us northwesters here so the ride was awesome. We’re only about 4-5 blocks from the arena so it was a short trip. We  did it mostly for fun because neither of us had ridden them. It helps if you have some prior experience on a skateboard/surfboard etc. It’s like a lot of things... not for everybody. And we’re very conscientious about parking the things, having seen and read the hoopla surrounding them.

    Oregon has no sales tax, so they have to make up for it in other areas.

    I know. I lived there for years. I paid the State tax. My reply was for Gilbert who was not sure which state HE was referring to. The walkout was in Oregon.

  4. PNW is out of control on pricing. Want some CWll's for $2500? And that's REDUCED from $3000. I've seen others joke here about owners being men who put up for sale to please the wife and purposefully over price so it won't sell. I can't help but think there is a lot of that going on.

    Drugs and depression results in some of the best art in the right hands. 

    Sadly yes this is so true. I have made it through many days by singing along to tons of blues tunes. Sharing the grief, so to speak. I wish I were an artist. I have the depression to be good! (only joking, by the way. I speak from my own experience. Wouldn't wish depression on anyone. Or make fun of those who are)

    Definitely beyond just entertainment 👍

    Yes. And sometimes the lyrics mirror our own travails and it helps us knowing that we are not alone.

    Im curious what others on this forum think of this debate........

    Waters song writing has the life experiences and writing chops behind it. Gilmour's musicianship is undeniably greater. What is seared into our memories from music? You know the cut to the chase lyrics are fairly concise and to the point. The stories resonate with us. Memorable. The guitar solos have such power or finesse and emotion that stirs our souls. I do know, personally, there are some who don't 'feel' music. So the art of including your soul in your performance is somewhat 'lost' in their expereince. But not me. Music heals my soul and I can easily divvy up what is that stirs it. Sometimes the story... sometimes the way it is told.

    why didn’t you say hello -- I was there.  I would’ve bought you a beer even.

    My hindsight is much better than my foresight. Thanks for the belated offer! I was comfortably numb by the time the staff person led us down to our seats. The closer we got, the more I lost my mind.

    I am proud to say that I have seen David Gilmore play his beloved guitars twice in my lifetime.

    Another bucket list for me. I took my age old friend to see the 'Rattle That Lock' show at the Hollywood Bowl. Flew down from Seattle. Had TRUE 3rd row seats in the pool section. 25 feet away. Glorious! Magnificent! Cost half an arm but I used my messed up one so not so expensive! An all time show for me.

  10. What the heck is up in the great PNW? Cornwalls marked DOWN to $2500.00 from $3000. K-horns marked DOWN from $5,000.00 to $4000. Boat anchor Belles Marked DOWN from $3500.00 (iirc) to $2400. And in beat all the hell up condition. $2000.00 dirtscalas, er, I mean LaScalas.  KG 4"s for SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS! Yes, and the $1500.00 Fll's. There is a little of everything listed up here now for the first time in a while but none of it is attainable at worthy price. Nothing like what I see anywhere else in the States CL listings. The only decent listing is a for a pair of Quartets in excellent shape for $575.00.  And I don't know if THAT is even a good price. I've been waiting/looking for years. I may have to just go new. Sheesh.

    I guess like everything else, timing is everything.

    Well, that and the whole local pickup thing.

  12. Postponed his last trip to Seattle due to illness. Will he still be around when it's his turn again? His is a good show. Minus the dancing, of course. I cannot dance a lick yet I think I'm still better than Bob.
